Before Trump inflation didn’t even exist. Thank goodness the democrats care so much about the working class and housing and affordability. If you look at democrat run states you can afford a studio apartment and groceries and insurance on minimum wage it’s awesome everything is cheap there

I sure love getting some delicious regressive taxes, nothing makes my day better than paying 100x proportionally than what the rich pays!

If you look at republican states, you really need to wonder wtf they even do with the money from their taxes, people barely have an education, infrastructure is non existent, infant mortality on third world levels, people salaries below even 15 a day, 0 cultural investment aside from performative bible buying from someone's company in government, etc, etc.
